you shouldn't need to take them forever. supplementing with calcium would help a lot (i doubt you're getting enough in your diet without dairy).
My bad, I forgot to add Raw Dairy to the list of foods that should be eaten, and that I eat. Here's my revised list:
(everything organic)
Meats
Eggs
Raw Dairy
Nuts and Seeds
Vegetables
Fruits
^Nice list. I eat pretty much the same things only except i also have SEEDS (Pumpkin, Sunflower & Flax) in my diet and Bread.
I found a very very nice brand of bread in my grocery store. It's expensive but the ingredients are great. It's made with Spring Water and contains NO sugar, Wheat or Yeast. The company is called "Dimpflmeier". All Natural
Ok, thank you Healthdude! You really are a healthy dude :lol2: I donAAt think I could manage to mintain that kind of diet. Not because of the urge to eat sweet and unhealthy food but because I wouldnAAt know how to deal with peoples questions everytime someone invited me to a dinner and that kind of stuff...
Kaleidoscope how long do you wait before and after dinner to drink? Do you take the HcL pills to?
Kaleidoscope how long do you wait before and after dinner to drink? Do you take the HcL pills to?
usually at least 20 minutes before and an hour after a meal.
i was taking the pills for awhile. i don't need them anymore. supplementing calcium and following those rules i posted got my stomach acids up.

Thank you! IAve been trying to not drink to food today (have only had breakfast yet but IAm trying...). But itAs hard to break habbits. I get so thirsty when I eat. I got up and drank a big glas of water and then I waited half an hour before eating. But itAs so boring to wait and I donAt know when to drink my precious coffie! But I guess itAs worth it!
I donAt understand if calcium is good or not. Someone (Healthdude I think) said that it can make you constipated. And thatAs the least I want because I already am that! How much do you take every day?

sorry, when i say "supplement with calcium", i mean take a supplement that has calcium AND magnesium (and a bit of vitamin D is good, too, for absorption). taking magnesium and calcium together will not make you constipated. (magnesium will actually make your bowels move, so i guess they balance each other out.) there's a product called Cal-Mag Fizz that's very good. i try to take one scoop of that a day, which is 500 mg calcium and 200 mg magnesium.

Today I solved it by putting a bottle of water beside my bed. Then when the clock rang I drank a big glas of water. Then I slept some more, for me time moves TO fast in the morning when I want to sleep. So in no time one hour (a bit to long maby...) had passed and I could go up and eat! 
About the calcium. A couple of weeks ago I was thinking of start taking vitamin D because at this time I don‚´t get out so much and since you get vitamin D from being in the sun I thougt I might need some extra. But all vitamin D-suppliment also had calcium (because mostely old people take them) and I didn‚´t think that was good for me. But now I think that might be ideal if I also get some magnesium!
This is a very interesting topic, i wish it did not mean taking so many artificial tablets however, as it sounds expensive and questionable whether it's entirely safe, surely too much acid will burn the lining of your stomach?? That description of a burning sensation doesn't sound very nice...I wish there were a more natural way of doing this acid balance thing.
Having said that, a few of the things i've read here make sense: for example, the issue of nervousness stopping ppl producing acid - yes, i am quite a nervous person - are most acne sufferers nervous types, do you think? Not drinking with meals - i ALWAYS do this! Is it really true this stops you absorbing stuff? Why?? I'd have thought it would help?

if you feel burning in your stomach with the pills, you're taking too much.
you can increase stomach acids other ways, like taking a spoonful of apple cider vinegar with meals. and like i said in some previous posts, you can get your body to produce enough stomach acids on its own by getting enough of certain minerals and vitamins, and eating an alkalizing diet (only whole foods).

water simply dilutes stomach acids and digestive enzymes, which are both needed for good digestion.
About the calcium and magnesium, i've read that mollasses contains these two minerals so perhaps we could just eat some mollasses instead of taking calcium tablets?? Would you say molasses is likely to be 'alkainising'?
Do you think drinking a bit of apple cider vinegar b4 meals would work just as well as those acid tablets? Do you think malic acid will digest food in the same way as hydrochloric acid??
there is a test called 'The Gatro Test' you can do yourself but i cant get hold of one at the moment.
I forgot Ive ever read this topic... :S
Ive got low stomach acids, took HCL for like 20 days (6x 325mg), I think it helped my digestion, but I ran out of tablets after 20days lol, gonna order some more online now
So if ur body is more alkaline u will produce more stomach acids, i dont understand :S
Do ya think acv before meal will have the same affect as hcl tablets?
hmm i used the solgar ones, but this one is cheaper, but its capsules, not good?
